Must-have for anyone without a walk-in!

Works SO well with my Xikar 250 count humidification unit in my 150-200 count humidor as well as my 50 count, my travel humidor, and my father-in-law's humidor. I will never go back to foam and distilled water. I've been using this for about 4 years now, and have never had a mold problem and I have never had my expensive sticks dry out. I reseason my humidors every 2 years or so to ensure a proper humidity level, and this keeps them at a perfect 71% the whole time. Get rid of the stupid foam…

Pros
  • Great product
Cons
  • May require additional tools or accessories to use

Amazing Was going crazy trying everything to get my humidor .

AmazingWas going crazy trying everything to get my humidor to 70 RH for months. Never got past 58.Xikar got my box to 70 in less than 24 hrsIt's maintaining 70 for weeks. Every month I refill the humidifier cartridge and lightly wipe the walls of the box and it never drops below 705 stars

Pros
  • Does what it's supposed to do--holds moisture content for weeks.
Cons
  • May not produce consistent results

Xikar is the best! on my review.

This is the only humidor care product that I use, and for years I have never had a problem at all. ( Never once have I any trouble ) works great for me. Smiles Wayne H

Highly Recommend best in my review

I use it to prep and maintain my humidor in coordination with humidifier packs. Worked great. One wipe down and it was ready to go.

Pros
  • Liquid formula ensures an even distribution of humidity throughout the humidor
Cons
  • May have a short shelf life during periods of high humidity

Excellent quality, easy to use, easy to store, LOVE IT!

8 - 12 drops of this, and my Xikar travel humidor is set for well over a week when totally dry. When the humidor pad gets a little light, I just add a drop or two, and that keeps it going for another week. I totally adore that the flip cap lets you administer the solution in drops like that, or you can give it a good squeeze if you're getting a bigger humidor going for the first time.For storage and lighter use, this bottle will last you a really long time. But even with my heavier use, it…

  • Humidifiers
Cons
  • May not be available for international shipping

Works great, or just make your own.

Great stuff. Works just exactly as it should and SO much better than just distilled water. When I bought this, the Xikar was a clam or 2 cheaper than all the other brands, though chemically they are all (supposed to be) exactly the same, so (theoretically) one brand shouldn't work any better than any other.It's really hard to mess up mixing 50% Propylene Glycol with 50% Distilled Water. But I guess it could be done. If someone tried really hard.This product at least, is what it is and does what

Pros
  • Eliminates the need for frequent maintenance and adjustments to humidors
Cons
  • May not be compatible with non-Xikar cleaning or maintenance products

Great Product. best in my review

Constant 70%, you can't ask for more than that. Don't listen to all the negative hype; most of the people losing humidity haven't ever seasoned their humidor.Season yours properly and use this, and you'll have great cigars for as long as you keep them in your humidor.

Pros
  • Easy to use, simply pour and go
Cons
  • May cause allergic reactions to some individuals

Best solution for keeping your humidor at peak levels

This bottle is actually bigger than I thought. Since you really only need to use some drops in the humidor disk, it will last a really long time. The solution works great and I really only need to refill twice per month and the humidity level stays pretty close to the recommended number. This also depends on the size of the humidor and cigar count as well as the quality. For me, this solution works great.

Pros
  • It seems to do the job so far. Will follow up with any issues but I doubt there will be any.
Cons
  • May not be safe for pets or children

Does exactly what it is advertising!

The great debate has been whether or not to use plain distilled water, or a PG mix such as this. I utilized distilled water for years, that is, until mold developed in my humidifier. I reverted back to the trusty Xikar solution, as it has the anti-fungal agent to combat the potential problems that you face when only using distilled water. It works, and I don't question it. I'll happily shell out a few bucks extra to protect my investment, especially for the extra piece of mind. After all, Xikar

Pros
  • No guesswork involved in maintaining the right humidity level
Cons
  • May be prone to damaging cigars over time

Best humidor product.

Works as expected. Recommended by the maker of my humidor and my cigar store. Lasts longer than distilled water. May not work as well in low-quality humidors!

Pros
  • Extremely over priced. $8 are almost any Cigar Store.
Cons
  • May not work as well in low-quality humidors

Xikar Humidifier Solution

item is OK, will stick to distilled water for humidor treatment, I have several humidors and have always used distilled water to treat them then keep humidity with Heartfelt beads and this didn't seem to work any better/different then the water conditioning, not bad just don't see the need to spend more then a buck & an half for a gallon of distilled water

Pros
  • Improves the overall quality and smoking experience of cigars
Cons
  • May not be as effective in high-altitude regions

Great humidification solution for cigar humidors.

I use this to charge/recharge my crystal humidifiers for my humidors. Great product, better than distilled water, and super easy to use. Highly recommended.

Pros
  • Mix: It is a perpetual solution, its mix of PG and purified water is such that the PG biodegrades at the same rate as refill of the devices.
Cons
  • May require frequent cleaning to avoid damage to cigars

It's Working in my review

My humidor is down to 67% and dropping. It may be the Xikar humidifier itself. The Xikar combo of solution and humidifier does not work.User error. I expected the RH to remain in the 70-75% range where my Savoy humidifier kept it. After discussions with Xikar support I learned that the Xikar 50 will keep RH above 62% and under 70%, the preferred range. After 3 weeks of use the RH has remained in the 63-68% range.

Pros
  • it is what it is.. decent price and I didn't have to leave the house so I bought it
Cons
  • May have a complicated application process

Works Well good for me

It does what it is supposed to. I haven't used it long enough to verify how well it will inhibit the growth of fungus in my humidor. I suppose that will have more to do how I handle the cigars and the method I use to humidify my humidor.

Pros
  • Effortlessly maintains the perfect humidity level for cigars with its pre-mixed formula
Cons
  • May have an inconsistent mixture between bottles

It matters in my review

I have about 120 cigars in my humidor. I've had it happen.cigars got too moist and grew spores. I caught it early, so a light rubbing with a cloth took care of it with no ill effects.I've used distilled water in foam based humidifiers and gel beads refreshed with distilled water. Neither of them work consistently.and it's nerve racking when you can't trust your humidity system to take care of your collection. I've been using glycol now for quite a while, and the humidity level is rock solid…

Pros
  • Affordable solution for maintaining cigar freshness
Cons
  • May be difficult to remove from humidifiers once dried on

Big recomendation! good for me

This product got my Humidor into the Optimal range on the hygrometer. A hygrometer is an instrument used for measuring the moisture content in the atmosphere. In my humidor, I couldn't get my moisture level up till I used this product. Now I'm optimized, in the perfect range. It has not gone over. I am using this product with a "Mr. Moisture". I had not Seasoned the humidor prior to using this product and this worked in 24 hours.

Pros
  • Eliminates the need for messy water and humidifiers in your humidors
Cons
  • May be prone to system errors or malfunctions

The Perfect Humidity Solution for Cigar Lovers!

As a cigar enthusiast, I found this humidor solution to be a lifesaver. Health and Household were my primary concerns while choosing a reliable solution to maintain the right humidity level for my valuable cigars. According to my experience, this pre-mixed liquid has worked flawlessly in maintaining 70% relative humidity, ensuring my cigars are always in perfect condition. The 16 fl oz bottle is also very convenient, and one can last for a while. The only downside is the slightly higher price…

Pros
  • Ensures optimal humidity level for cigars
Cons
  • Requires regular reapplication to maintain humidity level

Highest Quality, Reasonable Cost

I've been using this stuff for years and have never had a problem with it: no over or under humidification, a constant 70% RH, no mold or mildew, no stink, works for weeks in the Xikar crystals medium. Other pre-mixed products have led to at least one or more of these problems and don't last as long. I highly recommended this solution.

Pros
  • The Xikar solution has been a reliable easy to use way to keep my cigars. I wouldn't be without it!
Cons
  • May require frequent refills

Worth the bang for your buck!

I have a small, yet great humidor that I bought $40. As I was waiting a couple minutes for the filter sponge to absorb the solution, I lightly lathered the box with the solution as well. Almost immediately my box went from 55 to 70. Great product!

Pros
  • Great price.
Cons
  • May not be compatible with certain types of cigars

Keeps my cigars fresh

Wanted to try this instead of distilled water just to see the difference if any. It is very easy to use and has kept my humidor at 70% for weeks at a time. Ill continue to use it as it makes no sense to ruin a bunch of cigars over a few bucks.

Pros
  • Easy to follow instructions make it user-friendly
Cons
  • May not work as well with certain materials used in humidors
